    I don't know of anything that will eat Bryopsis. I have had Sea Hares, Urchins,Emerald crabs,Hermits, never touch the stuff.While it looks to have the same characteristics as Bryopsis. I have never seen it that green. Not sure if its your camera. I would probably try a couple Hermit crabs first to see if they will eat it to be sure. The only way I was able to rid my tank of Bryopsis was by raising my Magnesium to 1600 using the Kent M. Not sure why that particular product works so well but I have tried using other forms of Magnesium and none worked like the Kent.
